1 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 8.

Who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ?

That is one awesome verse. Now, it obviously comes, I mean, in the middle of a context that

starts all the way back up in verse four, where the Bible says, I give thanks to my God always for

you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus. And then Paul starts talking about all the ways that God has been gracious,

how he's poured out his mercy and his blessing on those who trust in Jesus.

And then you get to the end kind of of that section,

it's kind of a run-on sentence in a sense starting in verse 4.

And in verse 8, talking about God, it says, he will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day

of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So this is a picture of where all of eternity is headed, and really each of our eternity is headed.

There's coming a day

when we will stand before God in judgment. And on that day, will you be sustained? And what the

Bible is teaching here, what Paul is saying to these Christians in Corinth is yes, they can know

they will be sustained to the end. How? Through faith in Jesus. And all who trust in Jesus,

all who hold on to Jesus, God will sustain to the end. One of my favorite

kind of modern hymns is He Will Hold Me Fast. If you've never listened to that song, I would

encourage you, like search for it, find it, listen to it, soak it in, he will hold me fast. That's a biblical truth.

We see all throughout scripture. I just think about Jesus saying in John 10, my sheep, I make sure

I never let go. Romans 8, nothing, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor demons, into the present,

nor the future, nor any powers, neither heights nor depth, nor anything else in all
